The expressive, open, clean and varietal Verdejo 2020 Barco del Corneta was produced with grapes from a single plot and fermented with indigenous yeasts in 300-, 500- and 600-liter oak barrels where the wine matured with the lees (without bâtonage) for nine months. 2020 was a cooler and wetter year, and the wine shows good ripeness without excess, with 13.5% alcohol and a pH of 3.2 denoting freshness. It's evolving slowly in bottle and has the ingredients and balance to develop nicely in bottle. Very serious, austere and mineral, very good! 7,343 bottles were filled in September 2021.
